-Using Intel® DPDK Upgrade Patches
----------------------------------
-
-For minor updates to the main Intel® DPDK releases, the software may be made available both as a new full package and as a patch file to be applied to the previously released package.
+For minor updates to the main DPDK releases, the software may be made available both as a new full package and as a patch file to be applied to the previously released package.
In the latter case, the following commands should be used to apply the patch on top of the already-installed package for the previous release:
.. code-block:: console
# cd $RTE_SDK
# patch –p1 < /path/to/patch/file
-Once the patch has been applied cleanly, the Intel® DPDK can be recompiled and used as before (described in the *Intel® DPDK Getting Started Guide*).
+Once the patch has been applied cleanly, the DPDK can be recompiled and used as before (described in the *DPDK Getting Started Guide*).
